Imagine you were an idiot. Oh wait, I forgot... you don't need to imagine... you have first hand knowledge.

I think you are missing the point of my posts. What I'm trying to lay out is basically how a proper 230 law should work. What I'm saying is, by law, these should be the only criteria by which social media is allowed to remove posts from public access.

@MisterRogersSnapped
If that were the case Twitter would have disappeared a long time ago. As long as there's some form of 230, it won't happen.

The biggest problem/threat for free, uncensored social media (and the internet in general) will always be clear and blatant violations of the law, such as people posting CP. Currently big tech is allowed to judge these posts on their own as inappropriate and remove them. But we want to stop this behavior, where social media judges the content of our posts. So what can we do to have our cake and also get rid of CP?

In the past, I have proposed that social media should remove posts containing harassment, threats of violence etc. only if the person reporting them had proof from a court of law that declared said post as illegal. Or at the very least the one reporting should present evidence that they also have reported it to the police.

But this wouldn't work well enough when it comes to CP and potentially other crimes. My suggestion is, for a very narrow number of crimes, allow the platform itself to report the potential criminal posts/accounts to the relevant authorities, and only afterwards hide said posts or suspend the account, with permanent deletion taking place only after the person is found guilty.

Independent stuff won't be the first things under threat. Not enough attention on them to really matter or be worth the time to sue. The first companies that will suffer are Twitter, Facebook and Google.
You repeal 230, let the big players suffer a while without it's protection. Wait for a few big lawsuits to happen. When they finally realize how good they had it before, and they start petitioning and lobbying for a new 230, then you can start writing up a new one, but with very strict criteria to qualify under it's protection, and institute a commission that has the sole duty to regularly check any big website for even the smallest infraction and suspend their protection.
Big tech will be so thankful to get away from the lawsuits, that they'll happily comply. As it stands, you have no bargaining chips against them. Doesn't matter how much you reform current 230, instead of complying, they'll use all their resources to continue breaking the law and then weasel their way out of punishment. You first need to teach them a lesson.

Can't say I ever took any of the Q stuff seriously in any way. The way I see it, the claim (usually coming from the left) that people took the Qanon conspiracy theories seriously is itself a conspiracy theory. But at this point I wouldn't be surprised if most Q stuff wasn't just plain ol' leftists trying to distract people from reality.

For every retarded post of someone defending communist there should be a direct response of someone defending nazism and/or Hitler with a similar argument. At this point I don't even care if it would be ironical or literal, this should be a thing.

@cowanon
P.S. Don't tell @nonetrix I said that. He'll probably ask me to join his cum cult, and I'm really not interested.

This is kinda how I feel right now. Maybe my introverted ass got overstimulated or something, but I feel like screaming to the world "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" and then just shutting down. I'm somewhere between highly annoyed/angry and depressed, and I just don't want to deal with anything or anyone IRL.

It seems the longer I stay away from Windows, the more I hate it whenever I need to work on it.
